Pizza Cook-Off Association

Pizza Cook-Off Association Would you like to compete and put your pizza up against others pizza enthusiasts to potentially take It's all about your gut feeling and taking that leap!

My name is Jerry Belcastro, and I live in McDonough Georgia, which is about 35 miles south of Atlanta. I am a previous Pizza and Italian restaurant owner & caterer, retired Regional Manager of International Catering for Delta Air Lines, a current certified judge for the Georgia BBQ Association (GBA), and a certified judge for the Steak Cookoff Association. I have also written for a local newspape

r about restaurants throughout our county, a column named, “Restaurants, Reviews & Reveals”. So I suppose you can say food runs a little through my blood. As mentioned, I am a certified judge for the GBA and while judging several events, I learned about the Steak Cookoff Association. Since my background and love for cooking is Italian, I thought.....why not have a Pizza Cook-off Association? If you are not familiar with these weekend competitions, please look at the websites of The Georgia BBQ Association and the Steak Cookoff Association (SCA). What really enticed me about the SCA was that the entire event could take place in one day, as opposed to the BBQ competitions, which are 2 day events. And what really pushed me over the edge to launch my association was watching the History Channel show "The Food That Built America"....the episode of how Pizza Hut and Dominos got their start. My very supporting wife, Eva will be joining me in this endeavor. Hope this new Pizza Cook-off Association will spark your interest too!

Nothing beats sharing the passion for pizza making! 🍕

Spent yesterday teaching a Pizza Class to three great friends. We covered everything on how to make a perfect pizza:

Making dough and sauce from scratch (recipes included!)

Mastering the perfect stretch and oven launch

Designing their own personal pizzas

Pro-level competition tips, dos, and don'ts

They all crushed it! Every single pizza came out looking—and tasting—phenomenal. Great job!!👨‍🍳🔥

Thank you to my sponsors for their goodie bags! Urban Slicer, Mike's Hot Honey, Caputo Flour!

Today, we aren't just celebrating the standard red, white, and blue—we’re celebrating the incredible melting pot of cultures, communities, and traditions that make this country so great. And if there is one thing that brings Americans together like nothing else, it’s a shared love for a great slice of pizza!

From the East Coast to the West, and every backyard and competition floor in between, pizza has become a true American staple. Today, as we fire up our ovens and light up the grills, let’s raise a slice to 250 years of freedom, community, and pursuit of the perfect crust.

To all of our incredible Pizza Cook-off Association members, dedicated judges, followers, and fellow pizza enthusiasts—thank you for being the heart and soul of our community.

Wishing you all a fantastic, safe, and delicious 4th of July! How are you celebrating today? Drop a photo of what’s cooking in your neck of the woods below! 👇
